Tehran: (RightNow). The Iranian Parliament’s National Security Committee spokesperson, Ebrahim Rezaei, has given a sarcastic response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statement. He stated that Iran does not need foreign labor to protect the Strait of Hormuz.

The spokesperson remarked on social media that Trump wants to be the guardian of the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran requires no foreign labor. Further mocking, he suggested Trump become a caretaker at Lindsey Graham’s grave.

This statement comes amid ongoing verbal clashes between the U.S. and Iran over the security of the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. President had claimed that America would act as the guardian of the strait and receive compensation.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most crucial maritime passages, where a significant amount of oil is transported. Global attention is focused on the tensions in this region.

It is noteworthy that in recent tensions, the U.S. President claimed that Iran’s military equipment has suffered severe damage.
